The Market for Aid

Klappentext In an accessible style Michael Klein and Tim Harford analyze some of the hot topics in the aid industry today. They argue that the aid industry is changing! old models of aid are under pressure! and both donors and recipients will ask more and more of aid agencies in the future. The chaos of competition and the search for new ideas are frightening to some and risk harming the people whom the industry is supposed to benefit. Yet at the same time there is a tremendous opportunity for harnessing competition to improve performance and find better ways of helping the poor. Klein and Harford argue for rigorous methods of evaluation and creative use of the private sector to produce a more effective aid industry in which new experiments are encouraged. Zusammenfassung Offering digestible surveys on some of the hottest topics in the aid industry! the authors examine the supply of aid and the demand for loans! the ""grants versus loans"" debate! debt restructuring in developing countries! aid effectiveness! and the role of the private sector. They also present two scenarios for the future of the aid industry.
